Dr Jawad Ahmed gave the speech on Friday 8th August, which was the day of Eid ul Fitr. He starts by reciting from Chapter 105 of the Holy Quran, known in English as ‘The Elephant’. He then goes on to describe the meaning of the word Fitr as an example to show that Arabic is the mother of all languages.

Another of our younger members, Erzish Omar from Pakistan, recites Chapter 105, Verses one to five, Sura Al-Fil and known in english as ‘The Elephant’. She then gives the english translation together with a explanation of the verses.
